Something I missed in the post above...

...Hot/warm water, sipped as tea.

There is something about four cups of hot water sipped about 20 minutes or so after the castor oil, I think.

Another poster mentioned that oil + lemon juice, followed by hot water makes a 'hot wash' in the digestive system.

I take all my water hot, and I have been able to increase my consumption.

Also, hot/warm water, as early in the a.m. as possible, is said to awaken the digestive system nicely.

This a.m. just a little of the full exhale thingy helped in my after breakfast bathroom visit.

Don't know if it was the power of intention, or what, but I'll keep doing it.

Off to pack some more boxes...we're moving. (Pun intended.)

Have a lovely day!
